I have found a lot of reasons to praise the a7IV during my time with it, and frankly very little to criticize.

If you’re the kind of photographer that needs the latter, then Canon has probably created pretty much the perfect camera for you. It tracks effortlessly and has the kind of low light performance that will enable the shots at the margins than many lesser cameras will miss.
The Canon RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM is a welcome addition to the RF lineup…warts and all.
[I]t is hard to beat the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD lens at this point.
The Sony FE 50mm F1.2 G Master joins this group of exceptional lenses, though with the additional glamour of an F1.2 lens. It’s another very, very special lens that really delivers incredible results.
The fact that the autofocus works quite well here makes me feel like the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM can a very useful tool for the right kind of photographer so long as they bring reasonable expectations to the table [...]
This is the kind of lens that opens up a lot of creative options for the right kind of photographer.
The Sigma 150-600 DN is a very welcome addition to the growing number of options for long telephoto performance on Sony!
If you are either an occasional macro shooter or on a tight budget, the 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 MK II is well worthy of your consideration.
The Tamron A057 gives a nice alternative to both, with a good size and price, good autofocus performance, and very nice image quality.
The Sony FE 14mm F1.8 G Master is an amazing lens!
Bottom line is this: the Sony Alpha 1 is like an a7RIV, a9II, and a7SIII rolled into one camera…and then further improved.
The Fujifilm GFX-100 is a fascinating camera. It is full of contradictions.
The 28-70DN is a jack of all trades, and does most things quite well. It has a nice build (though light on the weather sealing), great autofocus, and excellent image quality.
Ultimately that is a question that only you can answer for yourself, but I can say this: the Canon EOS R6 certainly has many, many merits that make it worthy of consideration.
If your needs for telephoto don’t require a longer focal range than 300mm, and you have a camera with IBIS, then the Tamron 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 RXD is a lens you should look at long and hard.
Normally I wouldn’t advise people to purchase the kit lens, but this really isn’t a bad little compact option.
So at the end of the day I'm very, very impressed with the EOS R5. One of these EOS R5s is going to stay with me, I have purchased one of them and it will become my main Canon camera that I will build my lenses and my reviews around moving ahead, and so a great job Canon.
It’s not a standout in any particular area (save perhaps the great LCD screen), but it does enough things reasonably well that I think most potential customers will be quite satisfied.
There are few autofocusing macro options available on the Sony platform, though fortunately for us, the prime option available happens to be one of the best multipurpose macro lenses I’ve ever tested.
The FUJIFILM X-T4 is a great evolution of the X-T3, essentially taking the best bits of the X-T3 and X-H1 and combining them.
There are cheaper alternatives than this $900 USD lens. There are smaller and lighter options.
One one hand, the Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS is a well-executed, competitive package that is great to use. On the other, the 100-400GM is priced like a premium lens – easily the most expensive lens with this focal range.
There are few objections to the actual lens itself that I can make. It has a pro-grade level of build quality, weather sealing, and features (including one more mode on the OSS than the 100-400 GM).
